Celebrating the Haverford Difference

Join us on campus for a special fall weekend celebrating the Haverford difference.

October 24–26, 2014

The schedule reflects not only parent-focused events (usually part of Family & Friends Weekend), but also a range of exciting festivities—panels, discussions, and open houses—for the entire College community. These activities focus on the future of the College, the ethical leadership that a Haverford education inspires, and a chance to glimpse the Haverford campus of tomorrow.

Saturday will mark the public launch of our comprehensive campaign to secure this bright future, with updates on the inspiring campaign progress to date. It is already very clear that Haverfordians are both generous and loyal, and recognize that excellence requires resources.

There will be alumni panels that consider the impact of ethical leadership on business, medicine, and policy and human services. I think it will be fascinating to hear how the core values of the College—trust, concern, and respect, which grow out of a commitment to the Honor Code—figure into the alumni career experience.

For parents–as always–we hope that in addition to visiting with your Ford you will enjoy attending class with your student, talking with the deans about student life at the College, and meeting with staff members who lead our Academic Centers, Office of Academic Resources (OAR), Study Abroad program, and Center for Career and Professional Advising (CCPA). Alumni are welcome to join in these activities to have a glimpse of the Haverford of today.
